J La State Med Soc. 2000 Aug;152(8):370-6.

Abstract

Creating a more youthful appearance of the aging upper face requires a treatment plan which is tailored to address the patient's individual needs. The process begins with a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and the physical effects of aging, involves discussion and understanding of aesthetic ideals, and culminates in the selection and performance of the appropriate procedure.
